a.
To compute: The
a.
Answer to Problem 11CRE
The probability is 0.50.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The table is:
Alleles Inherited | Blood type |
A and A | A |
A and B | AB |
A and O | A |
A and B | B |
B and O | B |
O and O | O |
Formula used:
Calculation:
The table could be constructed as:
Hannah | |||
Jacob | Probabilities | A (0.50) | B (0.50) |
A (0.50) | 0.25, A and A | 0.25, AB | |
B (0.50) | 0.25, AB | 0.25, B and B |
The probability of each type blood group, can be calculated as:
Thus, the required probability is 0.50.
b.
To compute: The probability that blood group of at least one child is B.
b.
Answer to Problem 11CRE
The probability is 0.4375.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Probability of B, is:
Probability does not occurrence two times,
If Jennifer has alleles A and O, Jose has alleles A and B, then the probability that at least one of the two children has blood type B, can be calculated as:
Thus, the required probability is 0.4375.
